What is integrative kinesiology
Kinesiology is a holistic, preventive method for health promotion and upkeep — combining Eastern therapy traditions with modern Western science.
The word “kinesiology” originates from Greek and means kinetics (kinesis = movement; logos = doctrine). Kinesiology is a holistic health, preventive method and serves health promotion as well as health upkeep. It combines contents from Eastern therapy methods and modern Western sciences. Selected areas include Chinese medicine (acupressure), chiropractic, dietetics and kinetics.
In integrative kinesiology (IK, integrative = to incorporate), kinesiology unites with the conversation-therapeutical approach of humanistic psychology according to Carl Rogers.
Kinesiology considers the entire human — body, soul and mind — and is committed to holistic health.
Kinesiology is a holistic health therapy form and unites Western and Eastern complementary medicine. Amongst other things, it connects Chinese acupuncture teaching with Western medicine, education science and psychology.
The muscle response testing
The fundamental idea of muscle response testing is that each muscle reacts to stress with a short “shutdown” or easing. This short first reaction is controlled by the autonomous (vegetative) nervous system and cannot be deliberately controlled or manipulated by the mind in that moment. Muscle response testing is therefore a measuring instrument of the body which provides information about possible dysfunctions in physical, mental and emotional areas and demonstrates options for change. The body indicates the answer — when asked properly.
In the kinesiological session, muscle response testing serves to detect stress factors causing imbalance and to find the best possible balancing technique. Therefore I use acupressure, movement exercises, colours, visualisation and systemic approaches.
My work is based on the idea that the solution for imbalance and the potential to change can be found in oneself. Your and my capabilities, skills and knowledge are integrated into the therapy and help reaching the desired change.
For who is kinesiology?
Kinesiology is suitable for persons of all ages who like to change something in their lives and for persons with symptoms on various levels. We all — children, juveniles and adults — are exposed to various pressures. At school, work or family we are under increasing stress which can cause imbalance on a mental, emotional and physical level.
With help of kinesiology the imbalances can be detected and corrected. The aim of the kinesiological balance is to find back to one’s own inner strength and to revive the desired healing process in order to unfold and use one’s own potential.
